Xbox360 or Playstation 3

Ive been trying to make a choice to either get xbox 360 or playstation 3. They both like like pretty good consoles. Does anyone on here have any suggestions on which is the better buy. Ive been leaning more towards xbox 360, or i was just gonna buy the one that game out at the cheapest price. So if anyone has a suggestion please post a reply

I know the price on the X-Box 360. It will be $400 for the full version that can play old X-Box games, and has wireless controlers. It is $300 for the cheap version, which can't play old games, and has a wired controler. Get the $400, it is worth $160 more that the cheap one.

PS3 for sure!! The power of the machine for starters out does xbox by leaps and bounds. it will also be 100 percent backward compatible. xbox is not, there are only a handful of games it will allow, this is contradicting the "it will be totally backward compatible" announcement made at e3. i do agree that you should wait for the cost to come down. but in the long run, if you want to play games that will make you go WOW. then the ps3 is the one.

XBox 2 (I'm going to call it XBox 2, 360 is stupid... I'm sorry people) vs PS3, I'd go for PS3 (which launches in Spring of 2006). But of course, decision completely up to you. XBox 2 is definetly going to have loads of problems on launch, Microsoft is just trying to get in on the Holiday shopping. Gain a landslide on the competition with PS3. Of course, most people aren't going to want to buy a PS3 (price depending on the package you get) after getting XBox 2. Which no doubt, Microsoft knows! Here's some specs on XBox 2 and PS3 that I got off Gamespot.

The PS3 is also rumored to support Blu-Ray DVD playback - a new DVD format that has been accepted by most of the major motion picture companies. Xbox 360 can't do that. Blu-Ray is the way to go - so PS3 is the way to go for me.

well for me it is ps3 ( have had ps1 and 2) so gotta stick with it, besides i have so many games. ANother plus is the 360 only supports HD-DVD which has 15-30 (dual layer) gig capacity while the ps3 blu-rays have 25-50gig(dual layer) capacity which means that there is a possibility for much bigger games, full feature cutscenes and better graphics. so in my opinion it is ps3 all the way... only downside is the longer wait to get one.

No not really. I have one sitting right in front of me, and while im not keeping it, (ebay) i did play it a bit to see what it was like. I found not problems/glitches/etc. Now i have not tested xbox live yet, so i can not vouch on that.

Im a PC gamer so i have no prefrence

But i own a xbox and was planning on buying (and keeping) a 360. But something really pissed me off about this release....The lack of games. What happend to this huge list of release games? Now it is limited to Call of duty 2 (which has all ready been out for PC), king, Need for speed, and some other lack luster tites. Im going to go transfer my Xbox reserve of Elder Scrolls 4 to a PC. :suspiciou

ok dude come on have you not read the microsoft statements, read the computing magazines or even read the tech stats online???? it IS a hd-dvd fool

Click to expand...

No...it is not. Maybe yor the one that should read the microsoft statements, or read the stats online. M$ was planning to put a hd-dvd drive in when they starting planning the xbox, but later on went on with a plain DVD drive. (helps shorten the release date.

hahaha that is actually funny that i am wrong... the 360 is pretty gay-o then... maybe the hd-dvd will be released with later versions.. either way i am getting a ps3 with its possible blu-rays so pffff
